Convert .m4a files with lower bit depth

[tonypatti]

I need to batch convert HD tracks to a file format that can be copied to an iPhone, like those created by iTunes.

I set up a batch to save files as AAC at 256 kbps, and the field preserved bit depth, which is greyed out, is set at 16 bit.

When I process a 96 kHz file, Amadeus gives me a file with a bit depth of 48 kHz.

These files will not copy to my iPhone. I need to be able to convert them to the standard 44.1 kHz in order to copy them.

How do I do this, since I cannot change the bit depth in Amadeus?

Hi, you can add an "Action" to your batch processor which converts the sound to 44.1kHz before saving. (Click on the "+" icon and select "Sound Quality -> Change Quality".)

Thank you.

I hadn't noticed the control I could have by adding actions. Very useful!
